Mmmm, The Simpsons Movie, with Sprinkles.

"See our family. Feel better about yours!"

After 18 years in the works, Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa and Maggie have made it to the big screen. Then they made it back to the small screen in a perfectly cromulent DVD! We, at the UTLC, have just got in a few new copies of the Simpson's Movie and they will be on our shelves in January.

This animated feature length film allows the television family to do it up right and really get into some trouble. The script was written and rewritten approximately 100 times. So, typical to the Simpsons, there are multiple story lines that converge and separate in a split moment. Homer's acquisition of a pig brings ecological disaster to Springfield. The disaster is so catastrophic that it attracts the attention of newly elected President Arnold Schwarzenneger. Through the insane meddling of President Ahhnold's Head of the EPA Russ Cargill (voiced by long-time Simpson's guest, Albert Brooks -- remember Hank Scorpio?), Springfield is covered by a giant glass dome, trapping the entire populace inside. As the future of Springfield is held in the balance, Homer pursues a path of redemption, forgiveness from Marge, the reunion of his fractured family and the ever-encompassing search for a tasty donut. Written and directed by members of the shows very early crew, the Simpsons Movie hearkens back to its better written beginnings. The whole movie is fan-te- tiddly-diddly- astic and so funny you will "make Bart in your pants."
